Fernando & Humberto Campana

São Paulo, Brazil

Humberto Campana was born in Rio Claro, Brazil in 1953, and his brother Fernando was born in Brotas, Brazil in 1961. Neither brother set out to be a designer - Humberto studied law, Fernando studied architecture – but in 1983, they began to collaborate on handmade furniture and objects, often working with found or mundane materials readily available in their surroundings. Over the years, they have built an international reputation for their ingenious re-use and re-invention of commonplace odds-and-end, such as rope, aluminum wire, plastic tubing, fabric remnants, and stuffed animals.
